75% Nylon 25% Spandex Antibacterial Anti-Odor Seamless Circular Knit combines 75% nylon 6 filament / 25% spandex with a Seamless Circular Knit construction. It is aimed at Swimwear that require chlorine and sunscreen resistance with shape retention, and the reason is straightforward: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines, so Antibacterial Anti-Odor.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a seamless circular knit means tubular production that removes the side seam entirely, and that structure is what allows the fabric to stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour under the conditions Swimwear actually face.

Performance features
- Antibacterial Anti-Odor: stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour, measured by ISO 20743 antibacterial test.
- Hand and comfort: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines.
- Construction benefit: tubular production that removes the side seam entirely.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
The first choice for Swimwear, where chlorine and sunscreen resistance with shape retention is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control
Trial quantity starts at 300 metres per colour with laboratory dips in five working days. Bulk lead time is 20-25 days after approval, and every lot ships with a test report, a shade check and an inspection record.

Frequently asked questions
Can we get recycled content with this construction? In most cases yes. GRS certified recycled nylon or polyester can replace the virgin yarn with full chain of custody documents, usually with no visible change in hand or performance.
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
